Hey everyone. I'm heading home tomorrow for final assembly. I have Tom's valve cover, the head studs, head dowels, and break in valve springs ready to go. Other than that, it should just be simple pushrod/rocker install and manifold install.

One question about the lifters. When I installed them, they were kinda tight. I had to tap them in from the bottom. But after they were in, they moved smoothly in the bore. They just tighten up at the top and bottom of the bore when they're most of the way out on either side. Is that something to worry about? I'm going try to remove them and do a more thorough clean to see if that helps but that was the only thing that concerned me.
